Hello, and thanks for joining us.

If you've been out and about already, you'll have noticed that while it may be chilly, it's much lighter, which is great news if like me, you have an early-morning commute.

An inquest into the death of a man who was killed when part of the cliffs collapsed at Thorpeness Beach last month is due to begin later - and there's bad news for anyone who uses J42 on the A14 to go into Bury St Edmunds, as Westley Bridge is going to be closed, external for up to eight weeks.

We're also in the fairly unusual position of being able to look back at a win for Ipswich Town over the weekend. Fingers crossed the Blues have turned the corner.

We'll bring you more details on those stories, and others, after the day's weather prospects from Kate Kinsella, which are up next.

A 16-year-old boy is bailed by police investigating an alleged murder in Ipswich.

Why are people prepared to pay for famous people's pants?

The 39-year-old was wanted for a breach of his prison licence conditions when he was arrested.

Emyr Huws' late goal gives Ipswich Town a dramatic victory at Aston Villa to end their five-match Championship winless run.

The commander of the US 8th Air Force returns a dog tag lost in Suffolk 70 years ago to a US veteran.

Police say searching the Milton site is the "next logical step".

We're signing off now until Monday morning, but before we go, we'd like to thank you for your company, and wish you a splendid weekend.

Here's a reminder of some of the stories we've been looking at:

• Police say they plan to carry out an extensive search of a landfill site at Milton in Cambridgeshire, as part of their investigation into the disappearance of RAF Honington gunner Corrie Mckeague
• A teenager has become the second person to be arrested on suspicion of murder, following the death of a man in Ipswich on Wednesday evening
• Ipswich Town manager describes himself and Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce as "not too sexy"

See you on Monday from  08:00.

These showers are likely to turn mainly to rain by the afternoon. 

Maximum Temperature 4C (39F).

More details from BBC Weather:

Nicola Urquhart has described the police search of a landfill site at Milton near Cambridge as a "massive task".

Police revealed earlier today that they'll be searching the site as part of their investigation into the disappearance of RAF Honington serviceman Corrie Mckeague.

Writing on the Find Corrie Facebook page, external, Nicola Urquhart said: "Our gratitude to each individual police officer carrying out this task is immeasurable.

"This could take up to eight weeks to conclude - it will be an incredibly difficult time waiting for news each day."

The A12 south of Great Yarmouth has been re-numbered and now becomes an extra section of the A47 creating a continuous trunk road from Peterborough to Lowestoft. 

Highways England said the change is part of the government's road investment strategy up to 2020.

Aran Nugent, from Highways England, external, said: "The A12 is also now a continuous trunk road from Ipswich into London, with the A47 a continuous trunk road from Peterborough to Lowestoft. 

"We do not anticipate this will create any additional traffic or direct any extra drivers onto this road. 

"The costs of the work have been minimised as most signs will have patches stuck on. 

"Those signs being replaced were at their end of their lifespan and would have had to be replaced soon anyway."

We've been telling you about the new £70m train maintenance depot that's been unveiled for Manningtree...

Greater Anglia, external has said it is a "vital transformation" for railway services in the region. 

Managing director Jamie Burles said: "Providing a depot at Manningtree will enable us to bring in our ambitious new timetable with more frequent trains and reduced journey times. 

"It also reduces the amount of time that trains are out of service for maintenance."

Here's a bit more about what it will entail:

• There will be 13 tracks where trains can be parked overnight for cleaning and toilet maintenance
• Two further tracks will be under cover in a 300m (984ft) shed
• The shed will feature train inspection pits and cranes for maintenance
• The depot will cover 22 acres
• A new wheel lathe will be installed
• There will be a train wash, remote train monitoring systems, a control room and spares storage

Greater Anglia, external plans to build the state-of-the-art facility on the site of a derelict chemical works factory at Brantham, across the Stour estuary from Manningtree railway station.

It will provide a base and light maintenance for about 20 of the new trains due to arrive in East Anglia from 2019. 

The depot, expected to be built by December 2018, will provide jobs for about 30 people.

James Cartlidge, MP for South Suffolk, said: "I'm absolutely delighted. 

"This is an enormous decrepit, decaying site which is crying out for regeneration and it's now going to be delivered."

A Bury St Edmunds headteacher has been named as the general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, external.

Geoff Barton is due to retire as head at the King Edward VI School, external at Easter.

He said: "I am looking forward to representing ASCL members when I take up post on 18 April.

"Until then, my priority is to give my full commitment to King Edward VI School, the high school I have been privileged to lead as headteacher since April 2002."

Hopton-on-Sea usually only makes the national papers once a year, and that's hidden away in the sports section when the World Indoor Bowls championship hits Potters Resort.

Traders in Southwold have made the most of a memorial service for former Conservative cabinet minister Lord Prior, to highlight their concerns over business rate rises.

Jim Prior, who was an MP for 28 years for the Suffolk constituencies of Lowestoft and Waveney, died in December at the age of 89.

Julie Carpenter from CraftCo, external said they hoped the posters would be seen by MPs attending the event: "With Jim Prior's memorial it was an opportunity not to miss.

"The poster campaign is quite subtle and we decided not to have protests so that it would be respectful for him."

You can't really tell from this photo, but it IS snowing in Ipswich.

This is the view of the St Matthew's Street/Civic Drive roundabout from BBC Suffolk.

It's very light and will have to do better than this if it wants to settle.

The discovery of 360 kilos of drugs worth £50m on two beaches in Norfolk is one of the largest hauls ever washed up on the British coast. 

It could also mean a switch away from the Channel crossing where there are extra patrols because of the refugee crisis, but the National Crime Agency, external said the investigation was at an early stage and they could not comment.

"It's fair to say you don’t get that sort of quantity of drugs wash up very often. The investigation is ongoing so we can’t draw conclusions at this stage," a spokesman said.

In 2005, a sack containing drugs was found washed up on the beach at Burgh Island near Kingsbridge - a popular south Devon family holiday destination. 

At the time it seemed a large number of packages, but compared to the Norfolk find it now seems miniscule. 

Amounts of illegal drugs being smuggled seems to have mushroomed.

In 2009, cocaine with sale value of £2.5m was in a number of packages found washed up on two Cornish beaches - 52kg at Bude and on the Lizard peninsula. 

Then in 2009, a 20kg haul of cocaine, worth £6m at the time, was found washed ashore at Frenchman's Bay, Rye on the Sussex coast.

"Our focus now is to support colleagues affected and ensure we explore all options available to us to mitigate potential job losses."

Unite called the threat to up to 155 jobs "deeply disappointing".
